[ Respond | Andarin: The Mountains ]
Posted by WICKED | PAGAN on February 3, 2009, 9:41 pm Icarus is the first chapter in the train wreck that started Wicked’s downward spiral. She is not sure if he left her or she left him or if there was even any leaving to be done in the first place, but he had once been a friend and comfort and then he was gone. At the time she had been wrapped up in the delusion of family with a lover and daughter and happiness to go around, but when the loneliness set in…it was easy to say they all abandoned her. It was easy to convince herself no one cared. And for all she knew, Icarus never did. Perhaps she had just been an experiment to him. Perhaps that was all he had been to her.

Whatever the case, he is here now and it hurts her. His wink and his smile, the very things that would have made her burn for him before now only make her scowl, make her throat tighten. Family? That may be something you are blessed with, but not me, Icarus. I have been without family for a long time now. Must you really play dumb? Certainly you know that her daughter left for the desert and never came back to visit. Certainly you know that Entropy has been gone for so long that her heart is hardened to him and probably will remain so forever? Grandchildren, Icarus? Wicked does not even have children anymore.
Oh, but she has plenty of shame. She has a few meaningless one-night stands to remember. She has a child forming inside her already from one of those trysts, a child that she does not even know will exist yet. This is what Wicked has been reduced to, loneliness and secrets. But how nice for you, my old friend. How nice that you have children and lovers here. But I…am not part of your family. No, I may love your Fenrisulfr as if she were my own sister, daughter, but I am not your family.
